Our summer program is focused on helping to prevent the academic slide that can happen to students during the summer months. The program is also designed to help working parents who are looking for a fun and educational environment for their children. This program is for students in Kansas City entering Kindergarten through 8th grade. Our program runs from 7:30am to 6:00pm, Monday through Friday in the summer. Our curriculum is focused on English language arts and math and is taught to students by certified teachers. Additional staff includes a site director, youth development leaders, and volunteer tutors. Incorporated into the curriculum are project-based activities that are facilitated in the afternoon along with enrichment activities including art, music, and PE, as well as extra-curricular activities and field trips. Each program offers breakfast, lunch and an afternoon snack. Teachers track each student’s progress daily to ensure quality programming. All of this is free to our families in Kansas City. Our program is open to all students, regardless of family income. Upper Room does not turn any students away until our capacity has been met and tries to accommodate all of our applicants.
